THE PREDICTION
For Man Utd to have any chance of leapfrogging both Copenhagen and Galatasaray into second-place in Group A, they must gain three points against Bayern Munich. The ‘Rekordmeister’ were surprisingly held by Copenhagen in Munich last time out, not that it matters with them having already secured first-place in the group. But after being thrashed by Eintracht Frankfurt this past weekend, Thomas Tuchel will expect a response and is likely to field a strong side. Man Utd must go for it, even if they risk exposing themselves defensively and this should lead to an open encounter with big chances at each end of the pitch. Regardless of the final outcome, back both teams to score.
TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
